Flip Oakes Wild Thing Bb Trumpet #3314 Lacquer w/ Hard shell gig bag and three tuning slides

Up for sale, this excellent sounding Flip Oaks Wild Thing Bb trumpet is a extremely nice pro player. It is serial number 3314, shows moderate signs of play, well maintained but with enough character to show it was loved, has great action and comes with the pictured hard shell gig bag and three tuning slides. The horn was owned by a player that had a healthy collection so it has sat for a bit and could just a little oil. Cosmetically it has a few dings, bings and scratches and scuffs - but overall this is an excellent pro level instrument. 

Here is the description from the Flip Oaks page. This model sells new for $3250 and does not include the three extra slides, that sell for $154 a pop.

"The design of these trumpets is very unique, unlike others trumpets. Flip Oakes Wild Thing™ Trumpets are designed to enhance whatever style or sound YOU, the player, chooses to play.

These instruments are very well balanced for openness of blow and the size and quality of sound. These are the most open, free blowing trumpets ever made. With the fastest response, wonderfully strong slotting, and superb intonation, it maintains an incredible ease of flexibility and movement.

With carrying power that is unsurpassed, the Wild Thing™ Bb Trumpet’s exclusive design produces a sound that is very open and dark with a huge core when played with a symphonic mouthpiece.

In addition, it can also produce a very bright and vibrant lead sound when played with a lead player’s set up; and yet its sound retains its shape! Rather than closing-down, these trumpets open up as you play higher and higher!

This trumpet is a “Chameleon” in the sense that it produces a variety of sounds, depending how you approach it. Players of all different musical styles and playing situations are now playing the Flip Oakes Wild Thing™!"
